Solution

The correct option is D Promissory notes
Over a period of time, the concept of written documents was adopted by the governments. Governments across the world started issuing such documents that were called promissory notes. These enabled long distance transactions since they were easily transferable.

Like coins, the promissory notes also gave people the power to purchase goods and services from one another without any obstacles.
